Is the one who says that a graveworshipper is excused for ignorance counted as a Murji without exception?

Question:

"May Allah be good to you oh virtuous Shaykh! This questioner asks: Is the one who says that a graveworshipper is excused for ignorance, counted as a Murji without exception?"

Answer:

"Oh yes. This one is the Murji. Who says: "Don't make takfeer on him because it could be that he took the idol in front of him towards which he is praying as a sutrah[1]." He took it as a sutrah!? Subhaan Allah! He's praying to an idol and is facing towards it and you're saying don't make takfeer on him because it could be that he's using it as a sutrah!? Meaning (in other words); there's no sutrah to be found except this idol?! What kind of speech is this?? Yes."

Footnote by translator:[1] Sutrah: barrier placed in front of a person praying.

Shaykh Saalih bin Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan, may Allah preserve him
